This news site is run as a news blog by an individual who finances it. This is a non commercial non profitable blog.

The purpose is a to make local news available for non commercial use.

It relies on News feeds from Councils, BBC, Police, Local Blogs, Local news.In order to add extra content and services our external links and displays are free.

As the blog is to promote local news free and is non commercial non profit making network it would not be possible to pay Press Association Commercial licence fees for content because it is not set up to make a financial gain.

A recent court case agrees commercial users can be charged for content that is resold for profit. However non commercial blogs etc would not be charged.

However it appears some press associations are getting rather greedy and are chasing private bloggers for fees if they are using some local newspaper feeds.

They appear to be using a debt collection business called Buchanan Clark & Wells of Glasgow who are sending made up charges for use of copyright material.

If you are a private blogger having the same problem I would like to hear from you.

If you are a online newspaper or press association your comments would also be welcome.

If anyone has a problem with the content of this site and wishes for any content to be remove please contact me.

Humberside

| |

Humberside was a non-metropolitan and ceremonial county in Northern England from 1 April 1974 until 1 April 1996. It was composed of land from either side of the Humber Estuary, created from portions of the East and West ridings of Yorkshire and parts of Lindsey, Lincolnshire. The county council's headquarters were County Hall at Beverley, inherited from the East Riding, and its largest settlement and only city was Kingston upon Hull. The county stretched from Wold Newton in its northern tip, to a different Wold Newton at its most southern point.

It bordered North Yorkshire to the north and west, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire to the south-west, and Lincolnshire to the south. It faced east towards the North Sea. It was abolished on 1 April 1996, with four unitary authorities being formed: North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Kingston upon Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire.[3] The name has continued in use as a geographic term and in the names of institutions such as Humberside Police and Humberside Fire Service.
